Dual Finger Massagers
Dual finger massager is a self-massage therapy tool that massages your fingers, one finger at a time. The massage tool itself consists of two rollers, usually wooden, that are connected on the ends of a V-shaped handle. By holding onto the handle, the massager is then rolled up and down your finger, with one roller on each side of your finger (the front and the back). The rollers themselves have a ribbed pattern on them which supplies the stimulating effect to the fingers.
Dual finger massagers are based on traditional Eastern medicine and are currently quite popular among proponents of reflexology. According to the Eastern traditions, the finger massager has different effects on the body for each finger.
Massaging the first finger - which is the thumb - helps with lung disease therapy, headaches, skin disease, and hemorrhoids. It is also believed that stimulation of the thumb helps improve ones intellect and will power.
Massage of the second finger - the index finger - is thought to improve liver function, regulates intestinal functions, reduce the unpleasant side effects of alcohol, and to aid weight loss.
Third finger massage - the middle finger - is said to help regulate blood vessels and blood pressure, increase one’s capacity for work, boost one’s memory, and increases sexual drive.
Massaging the forth finger - the ring finger - is believed to improve the conditions of the body’s various systems, including the locomotors and neurological systems. The massage technique also improves the body’s endurance, reaction speed, athletic performance, and general quality of life.
Finally, using the finger massager on the fifth finger - the pinky finger - helps the body manage conditions such as irregular heartbeats, fatigue, nervousness, cold hands and feet, and various eye problems. Stimulation of the pinky finger is also thought to be responsible for the development of deep intuition.
The fingers are one of the areas on the body that are completely covered in super-sensitive nerve endings. Why else would it hurt so much when we get a tiny paper cut? Thus, the dual finger massager rolls up and down the fingers to stimulate all of these nerves, which increases circulation in the hands and promotes relaxation. Once the nerves in the fingers are stimulated, they send signals to the rest of the body, including the brain, which encourages even more relaxation.
It is a small, easy to use massage therapy tool that can be used anytime, anywhere. A dual finger massager is a great way to treat your hands after a long day of hands-on labor.
